A fabulous treasure from the 5th century – already named the Nibelungen Hoard – was recently discoveredĪccording to myth, the German Nibelungen - with the corresponding Old Norse form Niflung (Niflungr) - is the name in Germanic and Norse mythology of the royal family or lineage of the Burgundians who settled in the early 5th century at Worms. The vast wealth of the Burgundians was often referred to as the Niblung or Niflung hoard, lost in the Rhine. Later this inspired Wagner to compose his famous “Ring”.
